DeepSeek's 160,000 Huawei Order Is A Real Threat To Nvidia In 2027

Zero Hedge | neutral | Published: 16:55 Sep 05, 2026 (Eastern)

DeepSeek is constructing a massive gigawatt-scale data center in Ulanqab, China, and intends to deploy at least 160,000 of Huawei's Ascend 950DT AI processors for inference tasks. Although Huawei's previous chips failed to successfully train DeepSeek's models, the new order marks a major victory for Huawei in capturing China's inference market. However, Huawei faces severe manufacturing bottlenecks due to shortages of high-bandwidth memory, meaning fulfillment could take over a year. While Chinese tech firms still prefer Nvidia hardware when permitted, Beijing is actively restricting Nvidia imports and enforcing a policy pivot toward domestic silicon like Huawei's.

Under-The-Radar Oklahoma Bitcoin Mining Site Condemned After Leaking 3 Million Gallons Of Water

Zero Hedge | negative | Published: 15:45 Sep 05, 2026 (Eastern)

An under-the-radar Bitcoin mining facility in El Reno, Oklahoma, operated by Athlon BT LLC, was condemned after leaking 3 million gallons of water. City officials stated that the operation proceeded without required approvals, a final certificate of occupancy, or compliance with building and safety codes, and that it continued construction despite a previous stop-work order. Although Athlon claimed its equipment was air-cooled and that a water line was meant solely for fire protection, the unapproved installation of a concealed fire hydrant and references to "hydro-cooling technology" on the company's website raised questions about actual water use. Following the incident, El Reno condemned the property and adopted a new ordinance to increase scrutiny and public comment requirements for future data center developments.
